About
Established 1927.
Victoria University Rowing Club stands as a proud testament to the rich history and tradition of rowing at our esteemed institution. Nestled by the picturesque Wairepo Lagoon, our boat shed serves as the backdrop for our passionate rowing pursuits.
Our legacy is deeply rooted in the commitment to fostering a sense of community, excellence, and respect for the water. Both seasoned rowers and newcomers alike can come together to share their love for the sport.
We take great pride in our mana and spirit, woven into the fabric of our club, shaping not only our rowing achievements but also the strong bonds that form between our members.
Kia kaha.
